Freightliner 66s to Poland

[The_Train]

Can't see this mentioned elsewhere but 5 UK based Freightliner 66s have been earmarked for export to Poland. 66526 was due to move to Immingham Docks today and something ran on the planned Midland Road-Immingham light loco job - can anyone confirm it was indeed 66526?

Not sure on the other 4 planned but they are ones currently in stored pools - I'm sure some very enlightened person on here can confirm the other locos planned to leave

66413 moved 66526 to Immingham today on 0D66 11:24 Leeds Balm Rd Loco (Fhh) to Immingham Dock Nordic, 66526 has had its nameplates removed and now carries the number 92 70 0066526-9 as well. I have no idea on the others going.

Makes sense, all of those are currently in the DHLT pool on TOPS and still showing to be at Leeds

Have Freightliner had a reduction in work or new locomotives rendering these surplus? (I am not up to speed clearly!)

Thanks all

I presume these are going to remain as part of the Freightliner fleet for their Polish operation?

Is it five locos allocated to run the 0D66 1015 Leeds Balm Rd Loco (Fhh) to Immingham Dock Nordic next wednesday (3.1.24), so i presume is it those four locos that stayed at leeds balm and one dragging them?
